So he gets slightly more than the franchise tag, but I’m not sure how this helps him much since it just means he’ll be in the same situation next year.

    So I looked into it further and didn’t realize the 120% of the previous salary was an option, I thought it was always the average of the top 5 salaries of their position.

    So in that case, it does help a little.

    As for how many tags you can put on, it looks like the 3rd time gets so expensive that it’s generally never used. But the fact that it’s 120% of the previous salary does make it pretty unlikely they’d tag him next year. That definitely makes this (and Barkley’s deal) make way more sense.
